Re: It's Not Natural....

Perhaps it's something to do with social distancing, you know, No more than one yolk inside this egg at any one time. there's a shop in my town with a sign up saying the very same thing. The funny thing is, I have NEVER seen more than one person inside. Normally empty in fact.

Perhaps the sign is wishful thinking Longdogs...

Moral of the story is "Never put all of your eggs in the same basket, you may get lucky."
Thanks for the fun, you guys.

Re: It's Not Natural....

I was surprised at how many boxes of smashed eggs were in Tesco last week. Someone had put them in a box on the floor by the egg section. I picked up a box from the display, I always check them & one of those eggs was smashed too, so I added it to the box on the floor, the next box I picked was OK so that went in the trolley, there must have been some very heavy handed shelf stackers in there that evening.

Re: It's Not Natural....

In the 15 years or so, since l have kept hens. I have only had one, maybe two double yolkers.

I wonder why they bring us so much joy?

Re: It's Not Natural....

I would like to retract my earlier comments.

Two double and a tripple yolker in the pan for lunch from a metric dozen box of Big 'n Free eggs.

has anyone else noticed that since this isolation period with Covid there are no more double yolkers in eggs? I used to love being surprised when cracking open an egg to find two yolks! It's considered good luck, like finding a penny with heads up.
I have come to the conclusion that even roosters and chickens aren't acting naturally, in isolation. And don't get me started on rabbits....where are all the rabbits?!? In isolation, too?

I have had one double yolk,Right Now....but that was before lock down,

Artie, I think because it's rare, and considered good luck! Another gift of foolish superstition, like finding a four leaf clover on the lawn.
Or maybe, it's a "double your pleasure, double your fun" type of thing.
